Our picks include choices for kids starting school for the first time, starting at a new school, and a couple of general school favourites. Hope you enjoy the video – let us know your favourites!

Starting school can be scary but it’s great there are so many books to help children.
My eldest child starts school this September and I’m really not ready for the changes, even if she is! I love the idea of reading relevant books to highlight and bring excitement around the changes ahead :)
Wow! I didn’t even know these sort of books existed! I bet they are a great help for kids that are about to start!
My eldest starts preschool in August. I’m excited for him but he doesn’t really understand it yet! How do dinosaurs go to school sounds right up his street – he’s dinosaur mad
Great choices. My kids loved all of the Charlie and Lola books, they’re great!
Love those ideas for books for the kids , so wish they were around when my daughter was starting school x
